Halo Campaign Evolved's PS5 split-screen policy sparks fan confusion

Halo: Campaign Evolved’s local split-screen on PS5 drew Firestorm-like chatter after Halo Studios initially said two PS Plus subscriptions were required for couch co‑op. The June 2026 update clarifies the policy: local co‑op only requires a PSN account for each player (each linked to a Microsoft account); PlayStation Plus is not required for local split-screen. Halo’s PS5 debut thus hinges on per-player PSN accounts, not two active PS Plus memberships, with the game launching on PS5 alongside other platforms.
